MEET THE FOUNDERS
Emilie & Ed co-founded Star Seed with a mission to regenerate the skincare industry. Faced with their own health issues, they saw a desperate need to bridge the growing gap between humans & nature.
With the rise of chronic skin conditions and premature ageing, they set out to resurface healthy skin and radically improve the environment.
Their journey took them to Kenya where they lived and worked on a regenerative smallholder farming initiative. Inspired by the ancient healing wisdom of plant medicine, they combined their passion for skincare, artisan design and sustainability.
A Star Seed was born.
EMILIE JASPERS
Meet our co-founder Emilie, Holistic Facialist and Cofounder of the regenerative skincare brand Star Seed, recently praised in Cosmopolitain and Country Life. Emilie is Danish and originally trained as an Architect.
​
From the young age of 10, Emilie was fascinated by the world of plants, spurred on by her father taking her and her sisters foraging in the Danish landscapes. She learnt about everything edible and medicinal.
​
In 2020, after living and working in the city of London, she realised how disconnected she’d become from herself and nature. She took a long pause to think whether there was a better path out there for her.
​
Since then, Emilie has managed to tackle her skin problems, insomnia and has even found a way to combat IBS. Instead of one miracle cure, it has been a process of realising the bigger picture - incorporating Star Seed’s holistic philosophy in both diet and her skincare routine.
Together with her husband, they cofounded Star Seed, a regenerative waterless skincare brand, now used by Facialists across London.
​
She is trained and Certified as a professional Facialist from UK's #1 beauty academy, the Ray Cohrane Academy in Marylebone.
